FOREWORD IS0 (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards institutes (IS0 member bodies). The work of developing International Standards is carried out through IS0 technical committees. Every member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been set up has the right to be represented on that Committee. International organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. Draft International Standards adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for approval before their acceptance as International Standards by the IS0 Council. International Standard IS0 48 was developed by Technical Committee lso/tc 45, Rubber and rubber products. The first edition (IS0 48-1975) had been approved by the member bodies of the following countries : Australia Austria Canada Czechoslovakia Chile Egypt, Arab Rep. of F rance Germany, F.R. Greece Hungary India Iran Israel Italy Japan Korea, Rep. of Netherlands New Zealand Poland South Africa, Rep. of Spain Sweden Switzerland Turkey United Kingdom USA USSR No member body expressed disapproval of the document. This second edition, which supersedes IS0 48-1975, incorporates draft Addendum 1 and draft Addendum 2, which were submitted directly to the IS0 Council for acceptance, in accordance with clause 5.10.1 of the Directives for the technical work of ISO.

I NTE RNATl ON AL STANDARD IS0 48-1979 (E) Vulcanized rubbers - Determination of hardness (Hardness between 30 and 85 IRHD) O INTRODUCTION The hardness test specified in this International Standard is based on a measurement of the indentation of a rigid ball into a rubber test piece under specified conditions. For the normal test the standard test piece is between 8 and 10 mm thick; test pieces less than 8 mm thick give smaller indentation than the standard test piece. For tests on thin pieces of rubber a scaled-down version (hereinafter referred to as the micro-test) of the normal test is therefore used, in which the apparatus dimensions are reduced to one-sixth. When used on a piece 1,6 to 2 mm in thickness, the result of the micro-test will be about the same as that obtained by the normal test. It is considered unrealistic to fix a precise thickness above which the normal test should be used and below which the micro-test should be used, but in general the latter test should be used for thicknesses below about 4 mm. There will, however, be exceptions; for instance, the micro-test would be preferable even on thicknesses above 4 mm if the lateral dimensions of the test piece are much less than those specified for the normal test (see table 2), because the latter test would then be inaccurate. The micro-test would also be preferable for testing some small awkwardly-shaped rubber articles. The figure of 4 mm has been chosen for the following reasons : a) at this thickness the normal test will give readings in international rubber hardness degrees (I RHD) higher than the standard reading (i.e. on 8 to 10mm thickness), and the micro-test will give readings lower than this (because this test gives the standard reading on a thickness of about 1,6 to 2,O mm). These two errors are about equal when the thickness tested is 4 mm; b) 4mm is the greatest thickness on which the micro-test could be made without increasing the lateral dimensions of the test piece above that now specified (i.e. 2 mm minimum between the indenter and the edge of the test piece). In either the normal test or the micro-test, the measured indentation is converted into international rubber hardness degrees, the scale of degrees being so chosen that O represents the hardness of a material having an elasticity modulus of zero and 100 represents the hardness of a material of infinite elasticity modulus, and so that the following conditions are fulfilled over most of the normal range of hardness : a) one international rubber hardness degree always represents approximately the same proportionate difference in Young s modulus; b) for highly elastic rubbers, the scales of international rubber hardness degrees and the Shore A durometer are comparable. For substantially elastic isotropic materials like well-vulcanized natural rubbers, the hardness in international rubber hardness degrees bears a known relation to Young s modulus, although for markedly plastic or anisotropic rubbers the relationship will be less precisely known. 1
IS0 48-1979 (E) 1 SCOPE AND FIELD OF APPLICATION This International Standard specifies a method for the determination of the hardness of vulcanized rubbers preferably of a hardness range between 30 and 85 IRHD; however, the method may also be used for those rubbers with a hardness between 30 and 95 IRHD. Methods for very hard and very soft rubbers are the subject of IS0 1400 and IS0 1818 respectively; the range of applicability of each is indicated in the following figure : 1) the value of logl,m corresponding to the midpoint of the curve =0,364 (M being expressed in meganewtons per square metre); 2) the maximum slope = 57 international rubber hardness degrees per unit increase in log,,m. IRHD Low,) d Standard I I 1 1 I 1 1 O 10 3036 50 86 95 100 O FIGURE 1 - Range of applicability of hardness tests 2 PRINCIPLE The hardness test consists in measuring the difference between the depths of indentation of the ball into the rubber under a small contact force and a large total force. From this difference, multiplied when using the micro-test by the scale factor 6, the hardness in international rubber hardness degrees (IRHD) is derived by using either table 3 or a graph based on this table, or a scale reading directly in international rubber hardness degrees and derived from the table, fitted to the indentation-measuring instrument. The relation between the difference of indentation and the hardness expressed in international rubber hardness degrees is based on : a) the known relation, for a perfectly elastic isotropic material, between indentation P, expressed in hundredths of a millimetre, and Young's modulus M, expressed in meganewtons per square metre, namely : where F is the indenting force, expressed in newtons; R is the radius of the ball, expressed in millimetres; b) the use of a probit (integrated normal error) curve to relate log,,m to the hardness in international rubber hardness degrees, as shown in figure 2. This curve is defined as loglom (M expressed in MN/m*) FIGURE 2 - Relation of loglom to hardness in internationel rubber hardness degrees 3 APPARATUS The essential parts of the apparatus are as follows, the appropriate dimensions and forces being shown in table 1 : 3.1 Vertical plunger, having a rigid ball or spherical surface on the lower end, and means for supporting the plunger so that the spherical tip is kept slightly above the surface of the annular foot prior to applying the contact force. 3.2 Means for applying a contact force, and an additional indenting force to the plunger, making allowance for the weight of the plunger including any fittings attached to it and for the force of any spring acting on it, so that the forces actually transmitted through the spherical end of the plunger shall be as specified. 3.3 Means for measuring the increase in depth of indentation of the plunger caused by the indenting force, either in metric units or reading directly in IRHD. The means employed may be mechanical, optical or electrical. O 1) See IS0 1818. 2) See IS0 1400. * This formula is approximate and is included as an indication. 2
